Faith Cathcart/The OregonianKurt Huffman, John Gorham and Dan Hart outside Interurban before last month's fire shut the restaurant down. The trio plan to reopen their full upstairs kitchen and dining room tomorrow afternoon.

Interurban, the North Portland saloon that was damaged late last month after a faulty electrical outlet started a fire, has passed a final health inspection and will fully reopen at 4 p.m. tomorrow, co-owner Dan Hart said.

The saloon-style bar, with food from Toro Bravo's John Gorham and drinks from Prost!'s Hart, drew crowds immediately from day one last month. But the restaurant looked to be in for a long rebuilding process after the fire Nov. 27 shot three-foot flames were rising above the brick building's roof and sent firefighters buzzing holes in the walls with electric saws.

"We're extremely fortunate," Hart said. "The fire certainly could have
been a lot worse. ... We got the fire contained, then everyone
was just excited. As the last fire hoses were going out that day, we had
cleaning crews going in."

For the past two weeks, Interurban has served food from a limited menu, with many dishes prepared at Toro Bravo and assembled in a makeshift kitchen behind the bar.
